Accepted for Intermediate Urdu Congratulations everyone, and those still waiting, best of luck!

I hate the way that sounds -- Tuesdays and Wednesdays have been popular announcement days in the past maybe we'll get lucky and they won't make us wait much longer. Word for the wise, wine helps.

Patiently waiting....

Applied for Intermediate Urdu, fingers crossed!

What's your back up plan? I'm trying to think of things that I will do if I don't get it and having a career/place I can picture myself in that isn't the Fulbright helps!

In my statement of purpose I talked about one reason for choosing Bulgaria was because of the refugee crisis and disdain/fear of immigrants (they have about 85% Bulgarian ethnicity) - the Fulbright mission is one that supports understanding and cross cultural connections. That being said - unless you flat out insulted your country (or ours?) I think those reviewing our applications appreciate our willingness to help? I totally might non-select and wrong though :|

yayy!

@jarp729 Congrats!!

It's awful - but lets stay hopeful and say we can all grab a coffee when we meet in Sophia!

In the past Bulgaria (and others) announced both the ETA and research decisions on the same day - but this year it was split up. So they announced the research decisions last week but not ETA decisions. I was assuming that they came on the same day because the google doc has only one row for Bulgaria (ETA+Research) while other countries have 2 rows that list specific dates for research and ETA decisions separately.

Ha I just wish someone was getting notified today so that I could distract myself reading new posts on here...

Completely. I had a final today and could not focus at all because I thought we would be notified ? The struggle is real.

Congrats!!!! Now I have a pit in my stomach because I'm waiting for the ETA notifications for Bulgaria ?! Whats your research regarding!

Congrats! ? You totally can be promoted! Stay hopeful!

Happy potential notification day ?
